:: What about[[Happy Fireworks]]???? That seems to fit the occassion/ocassion/occasion/however it's spelled.  I'm pretty sure more than just the USA celebrate New Years with Fireworks.  And the toon is pretty much not clear what time of year this is supposed to be (even tho we know it came out in July).  It's nominated and seems apropriate.  Anyone agree?--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 19:56, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

:::::You guys might find this funny, but [[Cold Ones]] ''was'' going to be the featured article for the new year last year (this year). But due to technical bumbs in the road last year, [[Homestar Runner]] got bumped up early. I do not anticipate those problems this year. Jan 1, 2007 falls exactly on the start of MediaWiki's week 1. It won't be until 2018 when that happens again. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 20:48, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

:::::::I like [[Cold Ones]]. And it's already [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php?title=HRWiki:Featured_article_for_2006%2C_week_1&oldid=224778 written up] anyways. (The reason it got bumped last year was we were hoping the system would make "2006, week 1" start and end on Sunday the 1st. Instead it just overlapped "2005, week 52" to Sunday the first, then started week 1 on Monday. So we hastily bumped Homestar up to week 1, making him the first full feature of the year, and we didn't get around to picking another good time for cold ones). In any case, let's do it this year. {{User:Thunderbird L17/Siggie}} 00:02, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

What about [[Rather Dashing]] as a featured article?  Everyone's favorite hero in short pants?  That or we could do [[Naked Ned]], which is a little more obscure.  January always reminds me of them releasing the PQ Trailer, but that's already been featured before. --{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 20:51, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
 
-
::I had a better idea, why don't we do [[Stinkoman]] as a featured article for the month of January?  I was surprised it hasn't been done yet.  Then maybe next month (February) we could feature [[1-UP]]?  Both articles have quite a bit of information and are interesting.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 03:56, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

:::Stinky may need a cleanup. --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 15:03, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 
-
::::Stinkoman sounds great to me. This year, our main focus, character-wise, has been on the main characters; that's probably why we haven't gotten to Stinkoman yet. If he needs cleanup, by all means, do it. It's a wiki! {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 
-
:::::Hmm, too bad this article couldn't come up on 6 January, which is Stinkoman's birthday... that'd be even better than a Stinkoman-shaped pancake. But I guess we can give him a belated birthday present this year. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 00:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 
-
We should do Stinkoman the week before and do Cold Ones this week. That would make sense. {{User:Salty/sig}} 23:20, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 
-
:Well, the reason for doing Cold Ones the week before is so they could line up with New Year's Day. You know, the whole alcohol-New Year's connection? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
 
-
::I think it's more important to feature Cold Ones for the New Years.  But, it's only a few days off from Stinky's birthday.  It would still be in the month of his birthday, and no one wants to see Cold Ones brushed off again.  I likes it.--{{User:Bleed0range/sig}} 07:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

How about we do one of those weeks where we feature daily articles? Specifically, a week devoted to some of the old games. A while ago, someone suggested featuring Strong Libs, but some people objected on the grounds that there's not much content to it. If we feature these articles for only a day, it's not such a problem if there's less content because it's only there for one day.

I can definitely make decent-sized FA write-ups for all of these. Here are your links:

===Redirects===
 +
This is a placeholder topic for 5-year redirects. Due to overall decreased activity, FAs are now being reused more often.  The common practice has become to redirect to the FA exactly 5 years prior to the current FA.  When an article is re-used, mark it in the following manner:
 +
<pre>
 +
{{FA queue|<date>|Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=<article name>}}
 +
</pre>
 +
Example:
 +

:[[Peasant's Quest Movie Trailer]] seems more suitable to me, as it's got substantially more content.

:I've never really been sure how we could make a list work as a featured article, just because there's never enough prose to make for a good read on the main page, and because it's usually hard to summarize a list the way you can summarize a transcript. Of course, if you can think of a way, I'd be glad to hear it, I just can't think of any way myself. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 08:13, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

::Maybe we could say something like, "The Homestar Runner universe has a variety of songs in the toons, ranging from Homestar's on-the-spot Bread Song to the famous [[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor]] that has appeared as a playable bonus tune on Guitar Hero II. Many of these songs blah blah blah..." you get the point. If this doesn't work out, that's okay.

Could someone at least give me an idea of what a writeup for that article might look like? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 23:30, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::<s>I'm sorry, but who are you again? Please don't forget to sign your posts.</s> He has now. Anyway, [[Secret Pages]] would work just fine, I think. It's not so much a list as it is a collection of smaller mini-pages that are fully explained and interesting, so this looks to be a suitable option. -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|<span style="color: #800080;">''Brightstar Shiner''</span>]] 23:29, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::::Actually, I agree with Heimstern. Secret Pages IS more like a list...are there any articles about secret pages that haven't been used? Those would be good. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 01:57, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::::::What do you mean by "about Secret Pages"? Like the actual articles that are linked to from that page? -[[User:Brightstar Shiner|<span style="color: #800080;">''Brightstar Shiner''</span>]] 14:58, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, you know a secret page article that's not, well, you know, [[Secret Pages]]. Maybe, uh...[[Email Processing Room]]? It hasn't been done yet. {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 19:11, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 
-
:Gotcha. Have we done [[Marshmallow's Last Stand]]? That's a bigger toon (?) than [[Email Processing Room]], but we don't want ''too'' many options here. -{{User:Brightstar Shiner/sig}} 20:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

::Yeah, I think we did MLS back when [[lady..ing]] came out. --[[User:DorianGray|DorianGray]]

:::How 'bout the other lost Homestar toon, [[A Jumping Jack Contest]]? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 14:50, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Give me a week (that's less then we need) and I'll try to write something up about Secret Pages. I think I can do it. If I fail, then do any other page. {{User:E.L. Cool/sig}} 05:54, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, how about [[Don and Harriet Chapman]]?  He did die this time last year.  Lest we forget... {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}
 
-
:I don't think that's a good idea. The death of the TBC's father is essentially a family issue, and I don't think it's our position to make a memorial on the anniversary of this event. {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 06:10, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 
-
::Do you have any better ideas?  What's wrong with remembering him?  MAy his legacy last forever... like Steve Irwin!  {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}
 
-
:::Nothing's wrong with remembering him. But it's a little intrusive to put up a memorial-esque FA of him, as Heimstern said. Especially since they never even announced this officially. It's going to be a tough week for the family, and we shouldn't be showcasing it this week no matter how nice we make it look. &mdash;[[User:BazookaJoe|BazookaJoe]] 01:28, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 
-
::::I agree, that's not the best idea. And I DO have a better idea! What about ''{fanfare}'' [[Cool Tapes]]!...? {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 01:33, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 
-
:::::Cool Tapes sounds better.  Sure.  But wouldn't that be better for August? {{User:Theyellowdart/sig}}
 
-
::::::Just making sure: We're talking about the band, right? Not the toon, which is called [[Cool Things]] (and has already been featured)? {{User:Heimstern Läufer/sig}} 05:15, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 
-
:::::::Yeah, the band. And also, Theyellowdart, we don't HAVE to feature things around the time they were released. (I assume by August, you meant Cool Tapes first appearance ;-)) {{User:Bluebry/sig}} 05:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
 
-
::::::::Cool Tapes seems... a little on the short side. Maybe [[DaVinci's Notebook]] (which has just been greatly expanded) instead? --[[User:Trogga|Trogga]] 20:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects

This is a placeholder topic for 5-year redirects. Due to overall decreased activity, FAs are now being reused more often. The common practice has become to redirect to the FA exactly 5 years prior to the current FA. When an article is re-used, mark it in the following manner: 

{{FA queue|<date>|Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=<article name>}}

Example: 

{{FA queue|15 Aug 2011 |Redirects|alternatediscussion=yes|decision=1-Up}}

Please keep this discussion in the FA page at all times, but do copy it to archive pages as well.
